Thi'sl - Signed Up to Die lyrics

[Verse 1] They pulled that boy up out the shed, now he walkin' down the road Beatin' gettin' more intense every other step he go They whipped him punched him kicked him slapped him, ripped that boy up out his clothes Couple punches to the face, second one broke his nose They laughin' at him, they spittin' at him They kickin' at him, dog barkin' at him He thinkin' to his self, how could this happen? He black out for a minute, they throw water at him A week ago he was sittin' up playin' with his kids Wife and family all around in the comfort of his crib Birthday party pa**ing gifts Last thing that he remember: packing for a mission trip Now it's about to go down That's what he was thinkin' as he sit there knelt to the ground His k**a walked up on him rollin' and looked him in the eye He said "aren't you gonna beg?" he said NO … [Hook] I signed up to die d**h don't have a hold on me So d**h don't put no fear in me I don't think that you hearin' me I signed up to die When I lay down on that bed I'm gon' open up my eyes And my Lord gon' be there I signed up to die d**h don't have a hold on me So d**h don't put no fear in me I don't think that you hearin' me I signed up to die … die … Die … die … I signed up to die [Verse 2] She was only twelve when she heard about the name of Christ Saw the beauty of his love, instantly it changed her life Secret meetings in the late night Pulled her out the dark, now she 'bout to go and be a light She don't know nothin' about no Bible teachers 'Cause where she from there ain't no Bible teachin' Matter of fact it is forbidden But she done found a treasure that she couldn't keep hidden Now she standin' in a circle A hundred people yellin' out "convert or we gon' hurt you" I know she had to be scared But she thought about that preacher and the words that he said He told 'em all about Stephen How he was 'bout to die, he looked up and saw Jesus And her k**er walked up on her, he looked her in the eye He said "are you gon' convert?" she said NO … [Hook] [Verse 3] He picked his family up and he moved 'em to the inner city Not to get a job but to go and be a missionary His family told him "boy, you insane You gon' get yourself k**ed, get a bullet to the brain" But he still went to do the work He still went to plant a church 'Cause God gave him a vision And he gon' use that vision to help go rebuild the city But now he starin' down the barrel They tossin' up his office yellin' and they cursin' at him You think that he would be scared But he thought about the Bible and the words Jesus said And now he prayin' for the k**ers Like even if they k** me Lord bring these boys to repentance Then his k**er walked up on him, he looked him in the eye He said "aren't you even scared?" he said NO … [Hook]
